Dothan Premium Roofing provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Dothan, AL for residential and commercial properties across the Wiregrass. Nearly every roof in the Wiregrass is asphalt, and nearly every quote in this market sells you the wrong half of it. The shingle is the part with a brand on it. The nailing is the part that decides whether it stays on the house.
Outside the high-wind and debris regions, six nails per shingle is a choice rather than a requirement. We make it the default and write the count on the proposal so you can compare it against another bid. We also place them where they belong, in the common bond so each fastener catches two courses, rather than high on the tab where a shingle ends up shedding its own nail under sustained load.
Then the rakes. A rake with no starter course underneath it is an open lip, and that lip is exactly where our storms get their fingers in. Running starter up both gables costs a couple of bundles of material and half an hour of labor, and it is the single cheapest structural improvement available on a Dothan roof. Almost nobody quotes it unless you ask, which tells you something.
On shingle selection we are considerably less exciting than the salesman. An SBS polymer-modified laminate stays flexible longer in this heat and handles the daily thermal cycling better than a standard laminate does. That is worth a modest premium. A designer profile at twice the price is a styling decision rather than a performance one, and we will tell you that to your face before you sign anything.
Algae streaking is real here and copper-granule shingles genuinely help, though nothing is permanent. Anything on a north slope under pines will streak eventually no matter what you paid. If your only real complaint is the black stripes on an otherwise sound roof, a soft wash costs a small fraction of a reroof and we will happily point you at someone who does them.
We do not install over an existing layer. The adopted code permits a second layer in some situations and it is still a bad trade in this market, because you lose the deck inspection entirely, you cannot re-nail the sheathing underneath, and every fastener has to reach through twice the material to hold against exactly the same wind. It saves a day of labor and costs you a roof.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hemmed edge metal locked to a continuous cleat, nails driven through the common bond of every shingle, gable-end deck re-nailing at four inches on center, soffit panels clipped into a fastened receiver channel, starter course carried up both rakes, standing-seam panels on floating clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Dothan and nearby communities including Rehobeth, Cowarts, Taylor, Kinsey.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with hemmed edge metal locked to a continuous cleat, nails driven through the common bond of every shingle, gable-end deck re-nailing at four inches on center, soffit panels clipped into a fastened receiver channel, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Dothan job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Wiregrass means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Dothan Chooses Dothan Premium Roofing
- ✓Houston County sits in the federal wind zone that asks the least, sixteen miles from Florida counties that ask far more, and we detail for the storm rather than the zone
- ✓Every proposal lists an edge-metal profile, a fastener count and a deck-nailing schedule before it lists a shingle brand
- ✓We decline to sell impact-rated glazing and Class 4 shingles here, because neither the debris region nor the local hail record supports the premium
- ✓Gable-end and corner sheathing gets re-nailed at four inches on center, since that is where a hurricane eighty miles inland begins taking a deck apart
